Ship: EXPLORA III

An Extended Journey from Northern Spirit to Cultural Riches & Artistic Marvels

Set sail on a montage of nature and culture, leaving Southampton for Norway’s glacier-carved fjords, from Mandal’s southern charm to the dramatic peaks of Flåm via Sandnes, Olden and Bergen. Drift to Copenhagen’s welcome, Tallinn’s medieval beauty, stylish Stockholm, Riga’s ornate avenues and Visby’s historic walls. Rønne’s coastal calm and Aarhus’s creative soul lead us to Lysekil’s rocky peace, Oslo’s serenity and finally, Hamburg’s beats before returning to historic Southampton.
